Part 28: Puzzle Pieces

Azka Aldric's

     Me and Farel arrived in front of a shop. This area is located in a village not far from the city center. There is no one here except the tire of the car that passed incessantly. A reply message from Zaki indicated this address, right in front of the music store where we stopped.

"Azka, what are we going to do, anyway?" ask Farel to me.

"I want to break her head" I replied with emotion.

He opened the car glass. His eyes looked around. "No Azka, this is a public place. Danger if you fight here,"

I don't care about her words. As far as I know, he taught me this way a long time ago. But this time, he prevented me from doing it.

"You were never afraid, Rel."

"That was, when we were still using lust rather than reason" replied Farel.

"If you're scared, just stay in the car. It's for Alvia. Do you want Alvia to be bullied by him again?"

Farel was silent. He seemed to have no idea what he would do after his loved ones were taken without a fight. His heart was as sincere as letting go of all that he had hoped to have. Unlike the Farel I used to know, full of passion and won't stop until I can.

"Everything has its consequences Azka. I have felt it" replied Farel.

I go back in time to when we fought. Farel has often had all the consequences we have done. Fighting, stealing back what has been stolen, defending us when me and my friends are caught ditching, he willingly makes his shoulders bear all.

Someone seemed to be coming out of the store. Soon followed by a few people behind him.

"That's Zaki!" I got out of the car and stopped him. My fist is ready to hit the face. My speed felt like it was enough to make a blue mark for a week.

Brakk! My attack was arrested by Farel. "Azka take care of your emotions,"

"What's this?" ask him, though,

Zaki seemed to smile seeing my attack not to touch his face, even the smell of his body could not hit my hand.

"Great, Farel. Great, I like that. I'm telling you, Azka, don't ever stop me. Oh, I got a picture for you."

   He pulled out his phone and showed it to me.

"Don't touch Cessa!" He explodes and confronts three of Zaki's friends who follow him. They couldn't resist Farel's rampage. I looked like I saw the old Farel again. Farel was unable to touch Zaki because he was constantly confronted by three opponents. I'm not staying silent. I was beside him to protect Farel from the attack.

As before, yes, I said in my heart.

"Just continue with your party" Zaki got into a car and left us without sweating.

Farel was relentlessly attacking. I was beside him to withstand the blow directed at Farel. Shortly thereafter the sound of police cars buzzing. I looked ahead, a police car seemed to be driving here. I pulled Farel fast.

"Farel quickly ran away, there's a cop!" I put him in the car. I couldn't pull the car door. My body was detained by them. "Sow Farel, get away fast!!!"

Farel kept looking at me for pity. Highlight his eyes could not bear to look at me who continued to receive blows. I heard Farel pressing on the gas pedal of the car, along with the sound of the police shoes running at me.

I was arrested a second time.

"Someone has already boiled you. Quick left. Young people, the work continues. Don't think what?" He opened the lock that locked the iron bars.

I walked through the cold, barefoot floor I was wearing. I saw up ahead they left my shoes complete with socks. I put it on and immediately looked for who had redeemed me.

I saw a woman in hijab. Highlight his weak eyes behind the black-handled glasses. Her red lips were reddened by a thin lipstick. It looks beautiful and sweet in my eyes. Instantly he hugged me tightly.

"I'm worried, you know!" cessa said in her sad tone. Farel stood up from his chair. His face was not in the least decorated by bruises. He also got hit earlier.

"Not anything\-nothing, Cess. I'm fine\-all."

Farel suddenly\ lifted up his mouth, "There's someone who cares more than the one you've loved all along."

I was hit by Farel's words. That sentence hit me right in the heart. My mind was so polluted for too long by the lust of love, that it was forgotten by a truly sincere and caring person. Cessa is like a forgotten puzzle piece. Look around for the puzzle board where he's back. The puzzle board found another piece, but could not fill the void. I see Cessa's beautiful eyes. I saw the forgotten puzzle piece.

"Be my lover, Cessa," I asked him.
